Hundreds of thousands of Catalans out of work, and little chance of finding a job. The new Catalan government already breaking its promises, and taking drastic cutbacks in health and education expenditure - as well as taking education policy 20 or 40 years back in time. Japan. Lybia. Wars and disasters abound. Retirement age going up and up, salaries falling. Catalan politicians tied up with petty inter-party games, ignoring the people's demands for a step forward. A nuclear waste dump to be sited locally just near the 3 nuclear plants we already have. More crap before we've even managed to get rid of the stuff Franco left us with. Half full or half empty, I could go on ... but here's a song which could provide a soundtrack to these days.

In Catalan, evocative lyrics and music, which some kind fellow has set to photos.
